Wolves in Schleswig-Holstein: FDP demands drastic measures in the state parliament!
Kiel-In Schleswig-Holstein, a new conflict over the role of the wolf in the ecosystem and how to deal with this species. While the discussions about the wolf continue, the FDP is now taking the initiative to bring up the topic in the state parliament.
The liberals require effective inventory management for wolves and support the downgrading of protection status. "The wolf's romance has finally come to an end," said Oliver Kumbartzky, the parliamentary managing director of the FDP, to the German press agency. This step follows the CDU's demand and is prepared for the meeting in the state parliament in mid -October.
influence of the EU
At the end of September, representatives of the EU countries, including Germany, undertook a weakening of wolves protection status. A proposal was launched that could provide for the protection of wolves from "strictly protected" to "protected". However, this change is not yet legally binding in EU law.Kumbartzky emphasized the urgency to react to the upcoming EU-wide changes and to establish effective management. "The CDU parliamentary group now has to show color," he said. One step in the right direction had already been the admission of the wolf to the State Hunting Act. Furthermore, at least the stock in the dikes should be defined as wolf -free to ensure safety for humans and animals.
reactions of the coalition
The Greens that rule in Schleswig-Holstein with the CDU see the FDP and the CDU's demands skeptically. Gazi Friday, the head of the Greens, expressed that an application from the CDU could not be carried out in practice. Even with a possible adaptation of the Bern Convention, the wolf could not be released for hunting as long as no good condition is achieved.
A top of Schleswig-Holstein currently has a wolf pack in the Segeberg district, which consists of two adult wolves, two years. In addition, there are other adult wolves in the Sachsenwald and a pack in the Duchy of Lauenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The numbers show that the wolf is still present in the region, which also fuels the debate about the correct way of dealing with it.
These political developments and the different views of the wolves illustrate the basic conflict between nature conservation and practical security concerns. The discussion about the wolf population and its management remains a hot iron in Schleswig-Holstein politics, which has by no means been used.
